Cancer Care

Finding out that you have cancer is overwhelming. Our cancer team works with you to plan a personalized course of treatment. We are here to help you beat cancer and offer advanced, comprehensive cancer care that is close to home and focused on healing the whole person, not just the cancer.

Our Approach

Our comprehensive cancer care includes assessment, prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. Our team is comprised of physicians who are specialized in cancer care and supported by nurses and technologists trained to work with and assist patients through their diagnosis and treatment to their cancer survival.

We use the latest therapies and techniques to not only diagnose and treat your cancer, but also preserve your quality of life throughout your treatment process.

Treatment Options

There are a number of treatment options available depending on the type, location, and severity of your cancer, as well as other variables. No single treatment will work for all types of cancer. At the CHRISTUS Ochsner St. Patrick, our cancer physicians specialize in a range of both surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Our multidisciplinary team approach means that our team of specialists works together to coordinate a treatment plan that’s tailored to you.
